More than 80% of houses built prior to 1980 lack adequate ceiling insulation. A home without proper insulation and weatherization can lose up to 40% of heated or conditioned air. Attic insulation is easy for homeowners to install and is one of the most cost effective ways to reduce energy usage. Jarvis Insulation can inspect your attic and give you a personal estimate based on what your specific insulating needs are. We can install extra ventilation as well as insulation to ensure maximum efficiency of your attic insulation. Increasing your attic insulation can not only save you money but will increase your comfort levels in both summer and winter. By insulating properly, you waste less heat in winter and air conditioning in summer, saving on energy bills all year round. We can also remove your old insulation to replace with new blown insulation or foam insulation in the case of damage to the existing insulation from dampness, animals etc. Jarvis Insulation also offers the installation of fiberglass wall and ceiling insulation. Fiberglass batt insulation friction fits to framed walls providing an air barrier. Blanket wrap can be applied directly to concrete walls in unfinished areas of your home. Fiberglass batts are also used to insulate cathedral or sloped ceilings where loose fill blown fiberglass cant be installed. Batt insulation can also be used on interior walls to provide soundproofing qualities. For existing walls, loose fill blown fiberglass can be blown into the walls in order to increase the insulation value in existing walls. Foam Jarvis Insulation is licensed to spray both 2lb density polyurethane foam and one half lb density foam Sprayed Polyurethane Foam Insulation provides, Energy Efficient Homes - heating and cooling costs can be reduced as much as 50%. A Reduction of Heating and Air Conditioning tonnage as much as 35% without the loss of efficiency and comfort. Draft Free Environment - sealing of cracks, joints, etc, will prevent uncontrolled movement of air through the wall assemblies. Dust Free - homes insulated with Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation show a remarkable reduction of dust accumulation. Quiet homes - the open cells and the semi rigid polyurethane mass wil absorb and reduce the sound transmission. Improved Air Quality Stable Insulation - not subjected to structural deterioration or decomposition, will not settle Strong Adhesion to the Surface Comfort High R-value Air Seal Fills Voids Non Allergenic & Non Toxic Controls Dust and Pollen Sound Proofs Resist Mold, Fungus, Insects & Rodents 1/2 lb low density foam is 100% water blown foam insulation that minimizes air leakage for increased energy efficiency, creates a healthier indoor environment, reduces airborne sounds and offers greater design freedom. It maintains its performance with no loss of R-value over time. It does not shrink, sag or settle. It adheres to most construction materials and is the perfect insulation for walls, attics, ceilings and floors. Spray Formula Applied as a liquid, the foam expands to 100 times its volume in seconds to fill every crack and crevice while remaining flexible so that the integrity of the building envelope seal remains intact over time. The spray formula has an R-value of 3.6 per inch. It acts as a complete insulation and air barrier to minimize air leakage and seal the building envelope for optimal air tightness.
